Motion-Triggered Health & Wellness App
Move M8 is a React Native mobile application designed to promote active lifestyles through intelligent, motion-triggered notifications. The app uses device sensors to detect periods of inactivity and sends contextual reminders to encourage movement and break sedentary behavior patterns.
Built with privacy-first principles, Move M8 stores all data locally on the device with no GPS tracking or external data collection. The app features customizable notification frequencies, multiple motivational tones, comprehensive streak tracking, and gamification elements to make healthy habits engaging and sustainable.
Advanced sensor integration using accelerometer and gyroscope to detect movement patterns and inactivity periods
Contextual reminders triggered by detected inactivity with customizable frequency and timing preferences
Variety of motivational audio tones and vibration patterns to keep notifications engaging and effective
Comprehensive activity tracking with streak counters, daily goals, and historical progress visualization
Achievement system with badges, milestones, and rewards to motivate consistent healthy behavior
Zero external data collection, local-only storage, and no location tracking for maximum privacy
